About the Regional Talent Network
ABOUT THE REGIONAL TALENT NETWORK
The Regional Talent Network (RTN) is an emerging collaboration among the metropolitan chambers of commerce of Northeast Ohio, the State of Ohio, and the Fund for Our Economic Future.
RTN’s purpose is to promote systemic change that
For the employers of Northeast Ohio
-
Improves their satisfaction with the talent system and
-
Strengthens their ability to fill high-demand positions
For the people of Northeast Ohio
- Helps them build their employability and
- Helps them find jobs
RTN will do so by acting as a steward for all major talent issues in NEO, which it will approach through three tracks of activity:
-
Helping the University System of Ohio and Northeast Ohio’s other post-secondary training and educational institutions become even greater engines of economic development
-
Delivering a plan for talent to become a source of sustainable competitive advantage for Northeast Ohio
-
Making a fast impact on selected near term talent issues and opportunities by launching some improvement concepts–such as WheretoFindHelp.org
RTN is not a resource itself–it is not a job bank, referral service, or anything like that. Rather, it exists to develop frameworks, tools, and recommendations to help all of our talent system perform even better.
FUNDING
RTN is funded by a grant from the Fund for Our Economic Future to the Akron Regional Development Board Educational Fund, which is the fiscal agent for RTN.
